Our Strategy
International engagements
Liaison Office activities
The Liaison Office offers a specialised service to the Fund as a coordinator of all matters related to our membership of social security apex bodies like the International Social Security Association (ISSA). As members of ISSA and other such international and regional apex organisations, the Fund cooperates to advance a unified global agenda on social security.
The Fund, through the Liaison Office, plays a significant role in promoting social security across the East African region and beyond. During FY25, the Liaison Office accomplished the following under the oversight of the NSSF Managing Director:
Partnered with NSSF Kenya and County Pension Fund (CPF) Kenya to host a seminar that gave rise to the East Africa Investments Think Tank, a robust initiative which will pool together resources from social security institutions in the region for joint infrastructure investments.
The Fund was elected to host the International Social Security Association (ISSA) Regional Social Security Forum for Arica 2026. The event will convene over 400 social security practitioners and dignitaries from across the continent to deliberate on policies and initiatives that will further the social protection agenda.
The Fund accepted a nomination to host the ISSA Liaison Office for East Africa for a second triennium starting August 2026, thus continuing to play a pivotal role in promoting social security in the East African region.
We were selected to highlight our impactful initiatives to extend social security coverage to the informal sector at the ISSA International Conference on Management and Innovation in Social Security, held in February 2025 in Cairo, Egypt. Our presentation was featured as a case study within the ISSA Collaborative Hub on Behavioural Insights for the Informal Sector.
Over 50 staff from different departments of the Fund benefitted from international benchmarking and capacity building opportunities through the ISSA, International Labour Organisation (ILO), Actuarial Society of South Africa (ASSA), and other networks.
While participating in high-level panels at various events and webinars, the Fund’s achievements were recognised by external pension funds from countries such as India, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Tanzania, which were hosted for experiential learning.
